Jokes aside, it’s not the most difficult thing in the world for the police to track down a sender in the absence of a return address. There can be some security through obscurity but these days it’s not nearly as easy to do this as it was 20 years ago, thanks to a number of new factors. Doing this to a nobody and getting away with it is one thing but doing to to a VP candidate is going to have LEOs pulling all the stops to ID you. There’s no shortage of people who don’t understand this and are shocked when their door gets banged on or kicked in at 3am.
OK, but like, actually don’t do this, it’s a biohazard, you will actually get charged with a federal crime.
So you’re saying that if you were to do this, WHICH YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT DO, you shouldn’t use a return address.

Not your return address. Or mine.
It’s not worth it unless you’re already in trouble anyway I guess.
